FLOWERS.
There is no season in the year
That lifts man’s heart to heaven so near
As summer;
When flowers about our pathway grow,
And roses on the hedge.roWs blow ;
Swc*t summer 1
And as its perfumed breath doth rise,
In silent homage to the skies
Up-stealing.
A thousand memories forth start,
Long-hidden pictures in tho heart
Revealing.
Where lilac chains with scented links,
Or treasure tuft of red clove pink,
Or heather,
'Mongat which we played, fine stories
Of parted ones who once did dwell
Together.
Again the feathery seeds away
Are puffed to tell the time of day,
Whilst golden-
Hued cowslips into balls we twine,
Or part the horns in columbine
Enfolden !
Whilst through the woods the whole
day long
The cuckoo siugs an idle song,
Awaking
The echo of u dulcet peal,
That rang ere hearts began to feel
Heart-breaking.
And so it comes to pass that we
With half a sigh the flowers see,
Halt gladness ;
And round our hearts they twine and
twine,
Uatil their beauty makes divine
Our sadness.
ONLY.
Only a baby.
Kissed and caressed,
Gently held to mother's breast.
Only a child,
Toddling alone,
Brightening now its happy home.
Only a boy,
Trudging to school,
Governed now by sterner rule,
Only a youth,
Living in dreams $
Full of promise life now seems.
Only a man,
Battling with life,
Shared in now by loving wife.
Only a father,
Burdened with care,
Silver threads in dark-brown hair.
Only a graj beard,
Toddliog again,
Growing old and full of pain.
Only a mound,
O’ergrown with grass,
Dreams unrealised—rest at last.

When anybody wants to sell then is
the time to buy, and when anybody

You will find plenty of friends in
this world who are ready to divide the
profits of villainy with you, but not
one who is willing to stand a share of
the loss.
It requires great stamina of chame

If we would increase in wisdom, we
have got to forget a large share of what
we think we know.
Mankind can be sorted out in this
way : Those few who regulate their ac

science ; those who are regulated by the
consciences of others, and the balance
whom nothing or nobody can regu

A good intention is better than in
different action.
There is one thing that even old age
can’t cheat us out of, and that is the
memory of a good action.
The great blessing of adversity is, it
gives our enemies a chance to pitch

The best time to ask advice of your
neighbors is after you have made uo

Pity is most generally Wasted ; it is
so often spent on the sensible.
There may be some perfectly happy

prove it.
Experience is about all old age can
boast of, and how often is this of abe
bitterest kind.
The literature of the world is fuM of
moral precepts, and the reason wny
they do so little good is because most
people are anxious to i.ppl/ them to
their neighbor and not to them
selves.
“The way of the transgressor is hard’’

Mankind generally talks fondly of
their honesty, and judgment, and yet
there are no two things in their natures

I never have known an individual
who was anxious to excel in everything
that really amounted to much.
An illustrious pedigree is a risky
possession; the world won’t compare

The Ban who Sneezes.
Bilkerson has a terrible habit of snee
zing-
When he gets under way once he finds
it very difficult to stop.
Sometimes he’ll fire a salute of fifty
sneezes while crossing the ferry.
The worst of the malady is that it
overtakes him at an unexpected mo
ment, and it is impossible for him to
suppress it.
So, of course, he is often placed in tho
most awkward of positions
Not long ago he was invited to a din
ner party.
He accepted and attired himself in
his best for the occasion
Everything went well until supper
time, when Bilkerson was called upon
to respond to a toast.
The toast was * The Ladies "
Bilkerson rose with becoming dignity,
and, after wiping bis dome of thought
with his handkerchief, he commenced
He hadn’t uttered a dozen words be
fore a sudden desire to sneeze crept
over him.
In v>in he tried to suppress it.
All of a sudden he let fly, and lhe
people present couldn’t help smiling
Then off went another—b<>th barrels
at once, and as the company tried to
look serene, he got ofl a third explo -
sion that shook the Hutton eff the bac*.
of his shirt and sent his collar flying
up over his ears.
After half au bour of excruciating
torture be ceased firing, and went home.
He was making love to a widow not
long ago.
The widow was as deaf as a post.
He was very fond of her and thought
she would be just the kind of a woman
for him, on account of her deafness, as
he’d never get jawed at breakfast tor
sneezing her awake on the previous
night.
But he didn’t win her.
The way she came to jilt him was
this.
Be waa just about to propose.
She turned and looked into his eyes
It was an exciting moment.
Just as he was going to breathe the
qtfery through her speaking trumpet,
be felt a sneezing spell coming on.
In order to avert it he made a terri
ble fac'al gyration.
The widow saw it and thought be was
making game of her.
So she struck him over the head with
her ear trumpet and told him to get
out of the house ; but just then he
commeoced to sneeze, and the widow,
not hearing him, thought he had the
delirium tremens, and had him put out
of the house by the hired man.
He hasn’t been there since.
A prominent member of his church
died recently, and, as he was a bosom
friend of the deceased, be was asked by
the mourning family if he would not
officiate as a pall-bearer.
Of course, he promised.
The funeral was an impressive affair,
and seemed to go smoothly euough un
til it came the time to carry out the re
mains.
Bilkerson’s position was at tho bow
of the coffin.
As that receptacle was unconscious of
handles the pall-bearers bad to grasp it
with both hands.
Bilkerson felt an approaching sneeze
just as the procession out of church
commenced, and was unable to let go
in order to go for his handkerchief; and
the people didn’t know what to make of
the peculiar faces he was making.
Finally, when the mourners ;o: ut
of their pew, the solemn silliness ot the
scone was disturbed by a loud catisho !
Everyone looked around.
In a moment Bilkerson sneezed again
so loud and hard that he was almost
thrown off his ba'ance.
Then he gor. sneezing so fast that it
seemed as if he wts trying 10 accorn*
patiy the organ.
Is was a terrible time for Bilkerson
He thought the family would think
he was drunk, or something of the
kind, so, after the coffin was placed in
the hearse, he went and apologized to
the mourners, and then be weut home.
He didn’t want to spoil the funer
al.
He keeps out of society now. and does
not go around any more, fo r fear his
malady may overcome him at some se
rious moment.

HOBART PASHA'S EXPLOITS.
He Fires the first Own in the
Rnsso-Tarkish War.
A special edition of the London Tel
egraph furnishes the following account
of Hobart Fasha’s daring exploit on the
Danube iu passing the Russian batter
ies : “It is stated that while his vessel
was lying at Rustchuk the Turkish au
thorities received intelligence of the ar
rival of the Russians at Galatz, and
that they were placing torpedoes in the
river. Hobart Pasha was advised to
leave his steamer in the Danube and
return to Constantinople via Varna, but,
disdaining all such counsel, he declared
that he would rather blow up his ship
than desert her. Nigh' approaching,
he made eyery thing ready for running
into the Black Sea, in opposition to ail
Russian hostile intentions, getting clear
fires under the boilers of his craft, in
order to avoid smoke from her funnel,
and making other arrangements The
Rethymo, be it said, is a very fast boat,
capable of steaming at the rate of fif
teen knots an hour. When Hobart
Pasha started on his daring expedition
the Danube current was running swift
ly, being estimated at fully five knots
an hour. Upon nearing Galatz he
fouud the heavily-armed Russian bat*
teries commanding the river, looking
capable of sinking auy thing afloat, be
sides the torpedoes reported to be hid
den beneath the waters. Immediately
it was dark the word was passed,
“Lights out," and the steamer sped
rapidly along. Tie batteries were soon
reached, aod the Russian lanterns, the
heavy guns and soldiers in great num
bers were clearly visible to those who
manned the Rethymo, when suddenly
a rocket was sent up from the Rouma
nian shore to apprise the Muscovite
gunners of Hobart Pasha’s coming
Other rockets followed in quick succea
sion. Then the hoarse word of com
mand was distinctly heard. Bugles
sounded a’ud the drums beat uier ny,
summoning the Russians to their p- sts.
Hobart Pasha expected every moment
to be blown out of the water by the fire
of the heavy guus that he was treating
so cavalierly j but, being determined to
make efforts in some degree proportion
ate to the great risk he was facing, he
ran his vessel close in-shore, not foity
meters from the batteries themselves—
indeed, so near that the Ru.-sian gun
ners •‘ereunnbic to depress the pieces
sufficiently fast to get a good aim His
b at went quickly past at twenty knots
an hour, and then all danger was over.
When satisfied be had nothing to fear
from his enemies, Hobart Pasha order
ed the crew of the Rethymo, which
carried one forty-pounder Armstrong
gUD, to throw one shell into the center
of the Russian camp, an o*der which
was quickly obeyed, the missile burst-'
ing in the midst of the Muscovite tents
Its effects were, of course, unknown,
but it was the first cannon-shot fired
upon the Danube in the Turko-Ruaaian
war. Hobart Pasha subsequently pro
ceeded to Constantinople, where he re
ceived a hearty welcome and enthusias
tic congratulations.

Milling ter si Photograph.
The Danbury NeWf says ; ‘‘Having
a photograph taken ia one of the great
events in a man’s life. The chief de
sire is to look the very best, and on the
success of the picture binges in many
casts the most important epoch iu life.
To work up a proper appearance, time
enough is used which, if devoted to
catcbiug for their phosphorous,
would cancel the entire national debt,
and establish a New York daily paper.
When you have completed your toilet
you go to the gallery and force yoarself
into a nonchalance of expression that
is too absurd for anything. Then you
take the chair, spread your legs grace*
fully, appropriate a calm aud indiffer
ent look, and commence to perspire.—
An attenuated maD, with a pale face,
long hair, and a soiled nose, now comes
out of a cavern and adjusts the camera.
Then he gets back of you and tells you
to sit back as far as you can in the
chair, and tha it has a remarkable
backward spring. After getting you
back till your spine interferes with the
chair itself, he shoves your head into a
pair of ice tongs, and dashes at the
camera again. Here, with a piece of
discolored velvet over his head, he
bombards you in this manner : “Your
chin out a little, please." The chiu is
protruded. “That’s nicely ; now a lit
tle more.” The chin "J viruses agtnn,
and the pomade com me • ;s to melt and
start for fre lorn. Then he come back
to you and slap 9 cue of y u* hands on
your leg in such a position as to give
you the appearance of trying to lift it
over your head. The other is turned
under itself, and lias become so sweaty
that you begin to feat it will sick there
permanently. Anew stream of po
made finds its way out. and goes dowu
ward. Then he shakes your cad hi
the tongs till it settles right, od says
it looks like raiu, aud put your chin out
again acd punches out your chest, and
says he doesn’t kuow what the poor are
to do next winter, unless there is a rad
ical obange in affairs and then takes
the top of your head in one hand and
your chin in tho other, and gives your
neck a wrench which would earn any
other man a prominent position in a
new bosp tal; then runs his hand
through your hair and scratches your
scalp, aud steps back to the camera and
the injured velvet for another look
By this time new sweat and pomade
have started out.. The whites of your
eyes show unpleasan !y. and your whole
body feels as if it had been visited by
an enormous cramp, and another and
much larger one was momentarily ex
pected. Then he points at something
for you to look at; tells you to look
cheerful anicompos- and, and then snatch
es away the velvet at and pulls out his
watch. WheD he gets tired, and you
feel as if there was very little left in
this world to live for, he restores the
velvet, says it is an unfavorable day for
a picture, but he hopes for the best,
and immediately disappear in nis den.
Then you get up and scratch yourself,
slap on your hat, aud immediately
sneak home, feeling mean, jumoled and
altogether too wretched for description.
The first friend who sees the picture
says he can see enough resemblance to
make certain that it is you, but vou
have tried to look too formal to be nats
ural and graceful.
The Liberian Experiment.
The Republic of Liberia, on the west
coast of Africa, has afforded the co ored
race, under its best known condition,
the opportunity to test its capacity for
self-government. For fifty years the
experiment has been on trial, aided by
the wishes aud prayers of tl.e good for
its success, and encouraged by outside
help from both Engla and and America
Ihe original emigrants were from the
United States, where they had been
raised in midst of a civilization that
could no', but have imparted valuable
knowledge to minds capable of receiv.
ing enlightened impressions. Ther**
have not been acking for 1 aders, men
of no mean ability. Nothing, in fact,
has bien wanting to insu: a fair ex
periment. And to demonstrate the
more clearly that the now.. v..* in the
race by nature to take its place among
the self-governing peoples of the world,
the Constitution of the Republic ex
cluded all but persons of African de
scent from participating in her govern
ment, and from the ownership of real
estate in the country. The Republic
was intended to be, iias been, and is j
still, purely under the c-'ntrd and di
rection of colored persons. Whites
have had nothing whatever to do with
its management The experiment has
bad the fairest of trials. The result
promises to be an utter failure. The
blacks of Liberia have made no prog
ress ; they still suhstitutue foot or bri
dle-paths for roads, and m e toe natives !
for beasts of burden They are con- i
tent to p.ddle about in little ca es dug 1
out of ogs. The commerce of the j
Coimtr remains a mere barter. Their !
influence on the native tribes has not j
been healthy. Backwardness, rust and j
decay seem to claim every thing f.r J
their vwn. 8o wrote, not long ago, a i
colored resident of Monrovia to a New
York journal And m?re recently an
other resident of that place writes the
Boston Herald that the white man must
be called in or the Republic will go
under. In that there is nothing to
surprise the student of history and
races of the genus homo. The result
of the Liberian experiment will only
be a repetition of all similar undertak
ings by the colored rece. The race
lacks the moral and meQtal oonstitu ion
to make by and of itself a success of an
attempt at self-gorernment. All that
is wanting to prove the fallacy of the
opposite view is time and trial. They
have cot failed yet in the demonstra
tion, nor will they.
It is not ear prising, therefore, that
that part of the “reconstruction*' poli
cy, begotten and tethered by the Re*
publican party, which attempted to re
bnild Southern society and government
on the basis of negro capacity and sov
ereignty, hat proven to be an acknowl*
edged failure. It could not be any
thing else. The raoe that never dii
any thing bat fail when it essayed to
vindicate its ca| acity for self-govern
ment could not do otherwise than fail
when it should attempt to govern oth
ers of superior intelligence, aptitude,
experience, will and persistence to it
self. The disgrace of the failure—and
it is a keen disgrace—is not with the
negioes of the South, but with the
leaders of the Republican party, who
have demonstrated their incapacity for
sound and enlightened statesmanship.
If a sense of humiliation does not per
vade the party in contemplating the
failure, it is more insensible than we
think. The experiment has ended in
disgrace, been abandoned by its progen
itors, and will not be again tried Ne
gro capacity for selfagovernment and
Republican parly statesmanship are
about on a o*i and while the latter
may run >u a whi.e longer, the former
will be derided wherever seriously
mentioned. It is not in the nature of
the negro race to govern the Anglo-
Saxon. As the preacher said : “Con*
aider the wors. of God ) for who can
make that straigni which he hath made

Kara.
Kars is <sitouted ou a rugged plain
6.009 to 7,000 feet above the level of
the sea, was defended by ramparts sur
rounded by a ditch, with a strong cita
del oo the hill north of the city. It
was, however, iusuffioiently fortified,
and had a garrison which was small in
comparison with the force the Russians
brought agaiust it. It is stated on re
liable authority that the entire Turkish
force in Asia Minor only numbers about
64,000 men, while the Russian army
of the Caucasus amounts to 140,000
men These were distributed at the
three points, Kars, Erxeroum and Qlti.
ErXerouai is now the objective point of
the Russians, and is said to be well pro
visioned and much better fortified than
Kars. It is the capital of the prov
ince of Erxeroum, and the principal
city of Turkish Armenia. It has a
population of about 50,000, and is sur
rounded by a large massive citadel en
compassed by a double wall, which
forms its principal defense.
It has been twice destroyed by fire
and pillage, and was captured by the
Russians in 1829 under Peskevitch.—
It commands the road from Persia to
Constantinople, and the Turks will
probably make a desperate resistance
when the Russian armies reach it. Un
fortunately, however for the Turks,
there are hills bordering Eizeroum
which command the citadel, and it is
not probable that these are sufficiently
defended to enable them to make a very
formidable resistance. Once gained by
ibe Russians, the fall of the city would
only be a question of time, and the
march to Constantinople would then be
comnaratively uninterrupted, or the
Russians would at least meet with no
very serious obstacles.

Gen. Jackson Collecting a Debt.
When Andrew Jacksen was Presi
dent he wis waited upon one day by a
Washington boarding-house keeper who
complained that a Tennesseean, who
had beeu appointed by him to a clerk
ship in one of the departments, would
not pay a board bill “Get his note,"
said the Preaider t, “for the full amount,
interest included, payable in sixty days,
and bring it to me ” “That will be of
no use," replied the boarding-house
keeper, ‘ lor be never pays his notes."
‘ Do as I tell you. Sir," said Jackson,
aud turned away. The next day the
boarding house keeper reappeared at the
White blouse aud handed the note to
the President. He took it, read it,
wrote ‘‘Andrew Jacksou" across the
back in nis well known autograph, and
handed it back, saying : “Take that
to the bank of the Metropolis and tell
them f r me that at its maturity it will
be paid either by the drawer or the in*
dorser. They wiP discount it for you."
A few days afterward the man who had
gven the note met his creditor and
tauntingly said : “Well, i don’t sup-*
pose you have been able to negotiate
rny piper?” “ Y es,” replied theboard
ing-ti >use keeper, “I had no trouble in
getting it discounted at legal rates of
interest” “Who in thunder is willing
to discount my notes ?’’ asked the Ten
nesseean. “The bank of the Metropolis
discounted the one you gave me, upon
the assurance that if you did not pay it
the indorser would.” “Rut who would
indorse uiy n >te 7” “Gen. Jackson,
and he sent word to the bank that if
you did not pay the note be would."
It is hardly necessary to state that the
ote was promptly paid by the ma
ker.
